I'm just gonna stop the preaching. Very few people ever listen anymore. This ain't the 70s anymore
I don't know where you are at in Ohio but call Perfect Converter Co. and talk to Bubba. Go a google search for the company phone number or PM me and I'll give his cell number to you. He will ask lots of questions so give him all the info you can on your car and he will build a converter to your needs. Nothing off the shelf will be the same. Something around a 3500 loose most likely would be a good guess. If your close stop by the shop and talk to him. Plus it will save you shipping.
Single most important driveline item in a car IMO. Guys spend 10K on an engine, then back it up with a $200 converter and can't figure out why the car is a dog.
If you don't mind me asking, what is the price for one? I have heard that they are a great company.Filled out the request overnight for Coan first thing this morning got a reply. This surprised me with the way companies are this day and age. They stated a custom converter with a tight stall of 3000-3200 would work well with my combination.
I know roccodart440 rates them high, has anyone else used their products?
$850, I am sure that does not include shipping.If you don't mind me asking, what is the price for one? I have heard that they are a great company.
I think that's a good price if you look at what off the shelf ones cost and your getting a far superior converter.$850, I am sure that does not include shipping.
I would go a little bit more than what they recommend, but you may feel uncomfortbale with that. I look at the camshaft's duration. That camshaft you have will be pouring it on in the 3500-3800 range. I think that would be all over it. Even still, what they recommended is way better than a 2400.$850, I am sure that does not include shipping.
Considering there are converters out there that cost 5K plus, it's a good deal.I think that's a good price if you look at what off the shelf ones cost and your getting a far superior converter.

I have an 8" Coan behind my 434, it works very well, great folks to work with too. When I was calling around shopping for converters Coan asked more questions about my car and what I was doing with it, then made their suggestion.Filled out the request overnight for Coan first thing this morning got a reply.

NoIs he in prison? LOL
I put in all the information on their web page and wrote a summary as to how i am using the car. The car really starts to pull hard about 3000 so i would think that it would be about right.I have an 8" Coan behind my 434, it works very well, great folks to work with too.

As mild as the OP's combo is I don't think 3000-3200 is out of line, he could always ask if they can make it 33-3500. I'd call and talk with them about it.
I'd still call, maybe it's just me, but I prefer to speak to a person. It has weeded out some bullshitters in the past.I put in all the information on their web page and wrote a summary as to how i am using the car.

Turbo Action S-800 3500 Part# 17805ST
Sir could you please explaine what the terms loose/tight and flash mean I think I have an idea but just want to make sure....thanksDo not buy anything less then a 3500 loose. If it were me I would buy a 4500 tight. factory 340 cars came with a 3000+ same converter as a Hemi or any HP Big block. 340 cars flash stalled at 2800-3200. Hemis and HP big blocks with the same converter 3000-3400
Really That would make me real Sad............................I don't know if Lenny is still there, IIRC he sold Ultimate a few years ago.
